At the completion of this program, the participant will be able to:

• Given the specific case studies presented in class, choose appropriate IASTM treatments for movement dysfunctions resulting from but not limited to hyper or hypo-facilitated muscle tissue, fascia restrictions, joint stiffness, scar adhesions, and pain limited movement loss
• Given the specific case studies presented in class, choose appropriate basic treatment IASTM strokes for the body region and nature of the soft tissue restriction
• Given the specific case studies presented in class, choose appropriate advanced treatment IASTM strokes for the body region and nature of the soft tissue restriction
• Differentiate between normal and abnormal soft tissue of the extremities and trunk using IASTM tools with motion based on patient response, tissue feel, and resonance of the IASTM tool through assessment scanning strokes based on 3 models
